John Munson/The Star-LedgerGiants linebacker Phillip Dillard, the team's fourth round pick in April, has agreed to terms on an undisclosed contract.

Only minutes after the signing on Adrian Tracy was made official, the Giants came to an agreement on a deal with the other linebacker they drafted in April: Phillip Dillard.

The fourth-round pick, who made a big comeback from when he was benched late in his career at Nebraska, is a candidate to start in the middle on opening day. To do so, he'll have to beat out Jonathan Goff, Chase Blackburn, Gerris Wilkinson and the waiver wire.

The two players drafted on either side of Dillard (No. 115 overall) - Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta and Steelers defensive end Thaddeus Gibson - both signed three-year deals. Someone informed of the Giants' agreement with Dillard, who requested anonymity because the contract is not yet signed, said the sides worked out a four-year contract, so gauging the value of Dillard's deal at this point is difficult. Detailed information on his contract will be available in the near future.

Dillard's impending signing will bring the total number of draft picks under contract to three with four to go.
